Colt 1911 Combat Elite Defender .45 Acp 3 inch 7 round Two Tone Stainless G10 Grips Single Action Only Ambidextrous Night Sights

The Colt 1911 Combat Elite Defender is a carry-ready .45 ACP compact 1911 from Colt's Defender Combat Elite series, blending classic single-action 1911 handling with modern enhancements for concealed carry, duty carry, or range use; its 3-inch polished stainless steel barrel and two-tone stainless frame deliver corrosion resistance and balance while the serrated slide and 3-dot tritium night sights provide fast, positive target acquisition in low light, and the upswept beavertail grip safety with tactile black scalloped G10 grips ensures secure hand purchase and controllable recoil in follow-up shots. This SAO pistol features ambidextrous grip and thumb safeties for left- or right-handed shooters, a firing-pin design suited to reliable ignition, and a compact footprint that makes it comfortable for daily carry without sacrificing the stout .45 ACP punch. The Defender Combat Elite series is intended for shooters who want a carry-capable 1911 platform with upgraded ergonomics and night sights straight from the factory, making it suitable for self-defense, off-duty law enforcement, and precision practice at the range; transfers require an FFL.
